In the Garden

In the Chihuly Garden / bees pollinate flowers / ignoring exhibits

while visitors / photograph glasswork / paying no heed to bees.

Bees belong to flowers, / art belongs to indoors. / tourists belong to their cameras.

But what about you and me? / Do we “belong together” / as a popular song suggests?

Or shall we dismiss the lyrics, / and stick to the facts?
